Great sounding speakers tend to add more bulk, and most modern TV models are getting slimmer and sleeker. This means it’s harder for manufacturers to build in excellent sound. But even if you don’t want to spend a lot of money, you can still find a sound bar that will give you more from your viewing experience. If you’re ready to take your TV and movie time to the next level, here are a few of the great sound bars for the TV we recommend.
This sound bar from JBL transforms from just a soundboard into a complete home theater system that offers an excellent music or movie listening experience.

It also has a 10inch wireless subwoofer and comes with 510W of total system power. Multiple HDMI inputs make it easy to connect to your 4K devices. Featuring Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS and Dolby digital, video games, music, and movies sound incredible. The wireless subwoofer gives you thrilling, rich bass and is flexible and easy to place without the hassles that come with wires.
